Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve chosen this location and now you need to pick a hotel. 10 years back, you ‘d have probably visited your local travel agent and relied on the in person recommendations you were given by the so-called ‘experts’. The 21st Century way to choose and book your hotel is of course on the Internet, by using travel websites.
But how do you sift through the incredible choices on offer? And more significantly, do you truly rely on the photos and descriptions of the hotels that they have awarded themselves with the motivation of getting bookings?
Traveler reviews can be valuable, but you need to exercise caution. They are typically prejudiced, often out of date, and might not serve your interests at all. How do you know that the features that are necessary to the customer are necessary to you? Then there’s the issue of the customer’s motivation. The more reviews you check out, the more you see how they tend to cluster at the extremes of opinion. On one end, you have angry reviewers with axes to grind; at the other, you have happy visitors who lavish praise beyond belief.
You’ll not be shocked to find out that hotels often publish their own radiant reviews or that competitor’s line up for the chance to lambaste the competitors with bad reviews. It makes good sense to consider what is truly important to you when picking a hotel. You should then pick an online hotel directory site that offers updated, independent, objective info that really matters.

Here are a few of the key realities you should remember: 

1. Location: if it matters that your hotel is, for example, close to the theme park, or convenient for the airport, then location is critical. Any good directory site should offer a location map of the hotel and its surroundings. There should be distance charts to the airport provided in addition to some kind of an interactive map.

2. Style: it is necessary to pick a hotel that makes you feel comfy – modern or conventional furnishings, local design or international, formal or relaxed. The perfect hotel directory site should let you know of the choices offered.

3. Restaurants, Cafes, and Bars: local color is great but the hotel’s own restaurants and bars can play a fundamental part in your stay. You should be aware of choice, style and whether they are clever or informal. A good hotel report should tell you this, and especially about breakfast facilities.

4. Bedroom Facilities: you should always thoroughly consider the kind of facilities you need from your bedroom and find a hotel that has those you consider important. The hotel directory site should elaborate on matters such as bed size, Internet Access (its cost, whether there is WIFI or wired broadband connection), Complimentary features, views from the room and high-end offerings like a Pillow menu or Bath menu, choice of smoking or non-smoking spaces, etc

. These things truly do matter and any good hotel directory site should provide you this sort of recommendations on bedrooms – not just the variety of spaces which is the usual alternative!

5. Children’s’ Facilities: more crucial to the household tourist than the business tourist. You should find out just how child-friendly the hotel is from the directory site and make your decision from there. One thing worth looking for is whether the hotel offers a babysitter service. For the business tourist wanting to leave children, this is of course very appropriate too – possibly a hotel that is not child-friendly would be something better suited!

6. Leisure Facilities: the site should offer a detailed analysis of leisure services within the hotel – spa, pool, fitness center, sauna – in addition to details of any other facilities nearby such as golf courses.

7. Special Needs: the hotel directory site should advise the visitor of each hotel’s special needs services and accessibility policy. Whilst again this does not apply to every visitor, it is definitely essential to some.

Lastly and most importantly, the quality hotel directory site evaluation team should have checked out the hotel in question on a regular basis, met the staff, slept in a bedroom and tasted the food. They should experience the hotel as only a hotel visitor can and it is only then that they are truly in a strong position to write about the hotel.
with the above details, there is no reason why you should not find the very best hotel in the Hills District of Sydney. Good luck!
